Abstract

A meso scale atmospheric phenomena that affects the dynamics of weather is tropical cyclone. Tropical cyclone formed in the equatorial latitude of 10⁰ and 20⁰. Most of tropical cyclones (67%) occured in northern hemisphere. The growth of tropical cyclone that occured in northern hemisphere is one factor that has significant impact on rainfall distribution in North Sulawesi according to its geographical location. So the study of tropical cyclone occured in Northern Hemisphere is required to comprehend the weather condition. The cyclone’s growth stage that affects the rainfall distribution in North Sulawesi is vary depends on the cyclone’s characteristic and it’s atmospheric condition.The rainfall characteristic that occurs as a result of cyclone is also vary depends on the characteristic of each cyclone and the conditions of each location.
